‘Harvey’ 7Y/O 15.2hh Bay Standardbred Mix Gelding

Price: 3,000 OBO. *will require the right of first refusal to whoever he sells to.

Located in Greenfield, IN

Selling Harvey to the right home only so that he can continue to be in regular work and gain experience and miles. He is currently a pasture pet due to my new job, and he deserves to be doing more than I have time for.

Harvey came to me as a green youngster, but he has proven to be incredibly smart and a quick and willing learner - he has learned so much so fast since I’ve had him.... (read more) He could go in either direction English/Western. He’s not gaited, doesn’t pace and has never raced. He will walk and trot nicely, and he will canter, but definitely needs work on leads and balance. I could see him in a lesson program down the line in the right hands. He's more woah than go, but again - still green and needs miles.

Does well out on the trail, and we have done a lot of riding out on the road too. He is very comfortable around cars, happy to follow but can also lead if asked.

He does well turned out in a group with other horses (and donkeys), although can get attached and become a little buddy sour when other horses are moved around/coming and going. He can sometimes be a stinker to catch when turned out, always come prepared with treats. He does well in a stall too, with regular turn out.

Stands great for the farrier, has had his teeth done earlier this year, UTD on wormer.

I’d love to see him with a rider who has experience and patience as I think he is ready to be pushed and challenged more than I’ve been able to yet. I recently started a new job and haven’t found the time to keep him in regular work. I love him so much and can’t wait to see him reach his full potential.
